It is truly beyond me why this story doesn't get more reviews. I absolutely love it.

Do I believe Emma is going to return? Yes. Do I think that she's struggling with WANTING to return? YES. I think that given Sophie and Snow's phonecalls, she's likely to return just so that she isn't lying to them. But the struggle with actually getting in the car is probably more difficult than answering the telephone and it's for that reason she's taking sooo long to return.

I'm not surprised that Sophie looks like Snow. The brown hair made me think she probably took after her grandmother. Before even reading your note, I knew in my mind that her face would be little Bailee's; that little girl is adorbs. I LOVE that Regina ran away, but fear is but a moment in time. It's what she does with that fear that makes me nervous.

Snow's nightmare was heartbreaking. Her guilt is immense.

Can't wait for the next update! Thanks!

I would love to help you out, but unfortunately I have to publish more stories in order to become a beta reader. This story is really great, I'm totally hooked, though I hope you find a beta reader soon.

Loved this. Emma is so deeply troubled by her responsibility as the saviour, but who can really blame her? That is A LOT of responsibility! And the fact that she was made aware of it from a young age made this knowledge such a burden for far too long.

She wants terribly to have her mother's approval/acceptance/understanding, but it's something that she'll need to work on. She's lost Snow's trust. The fact that she wants to leave them again bc she's frightened is the wall that stops Snow from approving and accepting her choices in spite of the fact that she might understand why she's doing it. It is such a complex situation. I love it.

I almost wanted Snow to go after Emma and hug her, but I get why she didn't. It cannot be that easy for them to fall back into their old relationship. Hell, Emma has yet to call Snow and David, Mama and Dad, or whatever she'll call them. It's a process.

Thank you for this! Good job on the update.

Awesome.

Some of the grammar threw me off but other than that it was awesome.

I just realized something... Snow and Charming, having not been affected by the curse, must have aged. It must be so crazy seeing their best friends and them having never aged. LOL. Oy. Poor Snow and Charming.

OMG... I could just picture Snow's face as she painfully looked at Emma. Mama is angry! Sophia is adorable; I love her closeness to her grandparents. I hope that in some respect you're able to explore the confliction of having her mother back and her obedience to the people who raised her.

I cannot wait for more! Thank you.

I love it. I am hooked like a worm. Please update soon. I love the idea so far and can't wait to see what happens, let alone find out why she wasn't with her parents anyway in this story.

Nice idea.

love

I like this! Please continue and update! :)

Perhaps I just read too quickly and missed something (I have to run to the gym, but had 10 minutes to spare), but I'm just curious about what caused the separation between the Charmings and Emma... and Emma and Sophia, especially since they raised Emma... and now presumably have raised Sophia.

So Emma needs to go to Storybrook. I can only imagine she's going to take Sophia and so the Charmings will follow... thus the issues with Regina.

Good start. Can't wait to read more.

It's a really good start to what seems to be an interesting story.
